Sex and Religion

The more I listen to this album, the better it becomes. At the time of release there was a lot of criticism but I think it features some of Vai's most brilliant and diverse work ever.
Touching Tongue's is an amazing piece of music.
Anyone agree?

It's always been my favourite Steve Vai album. When it first came out I loved it. The "odd at the time" vocals. The crazy dissonance in PIG. After Passion And Warfare (which I also loved), I was shocked, surprised and excited when I heard Sex And Religion.

At first I was very WTF about this album but after a while it started to really grow on me. I like it more than most Vai albums now. A real tour de force with an incredible band. I was very disappointed when Vai didn't continue on with Devin Townsend. He's a phenomenal vocalist and musician.

Re: Sex and Religion

It is my favorite Vai album. I saw him on that tour and I was blown away at how great Devin was. His singing sounded perfect and he traded solos with Steve on several songs. I wish Steve would consider doing another cd with Devin.

I saw him on this tour too and it was by far the most amazing Vai show I have seen.

I saw that tour too and it was a wickedly great show...although I will admit that I prefer Vai's instrumental music over anything he's done with vocals (but i prefer instrumental music in general) but I do think that Vai teaming up with Devin again would be cool because I do think Devin is very talented - a bit of a mad genius perhaps...
